The contract on my mobile phone is coming up for renewal soon, so I'm
shortly going to be in the market for a shiny new phone. (NB: I'm in
the UK, so it is devices available in this country that I'm interested
in).
I'm looking for a few specific things...
* Can talk to my Gentoo box
* Has a calendar ... that can sync with Evolution
* Has a keyboard or good handwriting recognition
* Lets me write text files and then send them to my Gentoo box
* Not /too/ expensive (Sub-£100 after the contract subsidy)
Any recommendations for devices?
Things that seem to fit are the Nokia Communicator replacement and
various Pocket PC (eeek, Microsoft!) devices (although I don't know
how well either of them work with Linux - Google kept turning up hits
to review pages that had "linux" somewhere in the sidebar).

Hey, when you find out, let me know as well.
I think our only hope is to make our own. There is (I think) at least
one open source cellphone project going on.
